AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question

A team ingests IoT telemetry into a DynamoDB table that uses device_id as the partition key and event_time as the sort key. Six months later, product managers request dashboards that aggregate events by firmware_version across all devices. The solution must keep the existing workload online, avoid full table scans, and minimize additional cost and operational overhead. Which change to the current data model best meets these requirements?

  • Export the DynamoDB table to Amazon S3 and load the data into an Amazon Redshift cluster, then run SQL queries for the dashboards.

  • Add a global secondary index with firmware_version as the partition key and event_time as the sort key, projecting only the attributes required for the dashboards.

  • Create a local secondary index that uses firmware_version as the sort key while retaining device_id as the partition key.

  • Provision a second DynamoDB table keyed by firmware_version and replicate updates from the original table by using DynamoDB Streams and AWS Lambda.
